I didn't think anything of it at the time but it's been 5 months with absolutely no change from before the procedure. My before and after pics are exactly the same. He said he would re-do the procedure at no charge but I don't want to risk doing it again with no results. Ive had sculptra once before with great results. I'm not sure how to proceed. Thanks in advance for any help.

Answer: No results from Sculptra treatment Physicians may use different sized needles when injecting Sculptra, but it is possible that the needle may clog. This issue should not affect the results of the Sculptra treatment however. Since Sculptra is a stimulating agent, normally several treatment sessions need to be done to get the desired result. The most common reason for not seeing results is that not enough treatment sessions were performed. Since you state that you saw good results from Sculptra in the past, I would consider having another treatment to give you further benefit.

Answer: Sculptra and Results Sculptra is a fantastic product and yields long-lasting results. With Sculptra you have to have patience because it can take several treatments to achieve the best results. After each vial it can take 4 to 6 weeks to see the results of the injections since it is not an immediate filler - but rather activates the body's own collagen. The results are fabulous and can last for two years. The clogging of the needle that you are describing can be from various technical reasons ranging from the mixing or dilution of the product. Voluma may be a better choice for you if you want an immediate lift in that area. For the best cosmetic results please consult a board certified dermatologist with experience with Sculptra and cosmetic facial injections.
